The FE exam includes 110-questions. The exam appointment time is 6 hours long and includes

·       Nondisclosure agreement (2 minutes)

·       Tutorial (8 minutes)

·       Exam (5 hours and 20 minutes)

·       Scheduled break (25 minutes)

The FE is offered in seven disciplines. Specifications for each discipline are as follows:

·       FE Chemical

The computer-based FE contains alternative item types (AITs). AITs are questions other than traditional multiple-choice questions. Learn more about AITs.

Reasonable accommodations

Reasonable accommodations are available for examinees who meet certain eligibility criteria and sufficiently document their request.

Reference materials and exam prep

The NCEES FE Reference Handbook is the only reference material that can be used during the exam. You will be provided with an electronic reference handbook during the exam. For access prior to your exam, you may either purchase a hard copy or download a free electronic copy.

Register or log in to MyNCEES to download your free copy of the FE Reference Handbook.

NCEES offers practice exams. These practice exams contain questions that have been used on past exams and questions written just for study materials to give you extra practice.

The NCEES practice exams now come in paperback print copies. Online practice exams are no longer available. If you have already purchased an online practice exam, you will have access to the exam until the exam is completed or until your purchased time expires.

FE exam results are typically available 7–10 days after you take the exam. You will receive an email notification from NCEES with instructions to view your results in your MyNCEES account. Results include information specific to your licensing board regarding how you should proceed based on your performance.
